Do you think that it is healthy? We have it, and it tastes so good. I will be rating the best response. Thank you.

I hope that there will be healthy and pure well-water available to all of us future home builders... It's going to be a chore finding suitable home sites in the State with all this uncontrolled development and commercialization going on... There are many sites where dangerous pollution and dumping have been known to contaminate Nature's aquifers and some of these keep cropping up every few weeks or so... I am grateful to know that yours is good and hope that it stays that way forever... Fresh and delicious well-water is a gracious and Life affirming Gift... I wish you and yours the very best of Health and Happiness!

I have heard that well water is very good for a persons health, though I have never tried it since we do not have it here. Does it taste any different than tap water or bottled water? I did hear that my state is doing something about our water to make it better, cleaner and safer. We will have to wait and see what happens.

I think that our well water is fantastic. Clear, no odors, or after tastes. The aqua flow is from Prescot, AZ. through the mountains. Beter than city water or bottled water. At the moment though, we have been without water two days, as a rare cold front came in our our pipes froze. Sob.

I grew up drinking well water. It tastes fine to me. The only problem is that there wasn't enough flouride in the water so I had problems with my teeth when I was little.

Well water is supposed to be more healthy than rivers water as it is "mineral" but you should get it checked for bacteria or chemicals from fertilizers, etc leaking to the ground water, usually it will be clean but you better get it tested to be sure.

It's a shared well. But, we have to do that. I have a large unit that removes a lot of bad stuff along with a distiller too. I rated you a + so far. Thank you.

I think it depends where you are. I know when we had well water in Florida, the sulphur/rotten egg smell was awful, so I wouldn't drink it. Plus I'd always get worried about what could leak into it. I've always preferred city water, kinda hippocritical though, who knows what they're putting in the water....I know the water here in TN where I'm at, the chlorine smell is sooo strong. But you don't taste it when drinking.

as long as the well has all the right filters and is not contaminated then yes it is just as healthy as bottled water.

well water - extolling the virtues of well water versus city water...no argument really
Our well water is fine and dandy. We also currently get our water from a public natural spring a town over. It is straight from the ground with all the minerals and things our bodies need in it. It is heaps better that any city water with antiquated methods of dealing with many gallons of water for city residents who get it from really old pipies in the ground.

I have never tasted well water..We are on water tanks here where I am and the water is lovely, so much nicer than from the city water..I can really notice the difference in it.
